My filters must be pretty well set. I'm seeing almost no spam at all.

I just scroll past it. I'm amazed at how annoyed people get by it. Some
groups have a higher signal-to-noise ratio than others.

The opposite of coldmail is _ _ _mail. It's just interesting to see
that the spammers I'm "not reading"/deleting at the moment are from
there and Gmail isn't the address dujour at this point - that's all.

IOW, they are flummoxed.

This is good news. Now maybe more people will wake up.

I don't need to kill every single google poster just because there are
a few bad apples and I certainly don't need to kill by domain. I can
just right click and kill by author or subject. End of story. It
tickles me that it takes them longer to morph than it takes me to kill
them.

Fortunately, I do not get many spams. Still, I have a difficult enough
time reading the rest of the posts. I am busy most weekends, so it
takes me the rest of the week, just to get caught up on the group. I
begin reading the group alphabetically, but if I can not catch up, I
will have to delete the rest of the messages. This is a busy group,
which is a good thing. I am just slow.

The nice thing about using google (occasionally) is that when a poster has
replied to one of your killfiled persons and that unkillfiled person
includes only a snippet of what that killfiled person said, if you think it
would be interesting, you can read what's said (and reply if you so desire.)

Google can be good for something.

It just hasn't been reliable lately. When I notice I'm missing someone,
most recently Boron, I haven't been able to find recent posts on
google.

I can killfile but mostly I just ignore the spammers and at the end of it I
click on 'catch up' and all the others are marked 'read'

This is why I say we should cut the internet feed to China. But then
we'd play right into the hands of the government. It's a very sticky
situation.

There is a lot of legitimate traffic to and from China. Also, there is
the big question of who is "the government"? If we cut off access
between China and Germany, maybe it will just go through France?
